Oriana talks about her life of song…<\/h5>\nOriana talks about her life of song…<\/h5>\nI\u2019ve known I was a singer since a very early age. My father was playing the guitar and writing stories, and since I was little I was influenced by this creativity: I was always dancing, acting, drawing… I remember my first role being Charlie Chaplin in a play at school when I was around seven years old, and I also remember winning a poem and illustration competition at around the same age. At the time I was blown away by classical music (especially Mozart\u2019s requiem!) and wanted to be an opera singer. I soon joined a choir and started to study violin at the Conservatoire.<\/p>\n
I then discovered bit by bit other styles of music, and fell in love with rock, pop, jazz, electronic… and studied more contemporary genres.<\/p>\n
Though I\u2019ve studied music for many years in France, I\u2019ve never really managed to develop my career over there; I\u2019ve somehow always felt uncomfortable expressing myself and beginning to develop things as people seem to be much more pessimistic about artistic careers and success in general, which can impact your self confidence when you\u2019re a young artist.<\/p>\n
London offers so many opportunities, I really do think it\u2019s the best place in the world to develop your own thing and become who you really are. I\u2019ve been part of so many projects as a singer, actress, or musician, and it\u2019s just a joy to collaborate with new people, to share experiences and create new stories.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve collaborated with amazing artists like multi instrumentalist Koby Israelite (who produced my first album), and more recently with the extremely talented lyricist and producer Stephen Coates from \u2018The Real Tuesday Weld\u2019 (we\u2019ve recorded a duet). I\u2019m always amazed about how much solidarity there is between all of us, and I really feel like I\u2019ve found my community, or should I say family…<\/p>\n
